Why not?

[awwnoun]

I'm not really as good of a person as I want to be and I don't think I'll ever get to that point.

[redrooms]

You're far better than most of us, Clint.

[awwnoun]

See, I know you're not lying because that's the whole point of this, but that's not an objective thing.

[redrooms]

Not always, no, but even when we first met, you were trying to do the right thing.

[When she was manipulating him, she means.]

You're far better than you think you are.

[awwnoun]

This wasn't supposed to be a pity party or anything, you know.

Why did you pick me? To work with, I mean. At the start.

[redrooms]

I'm not pitying you.

[And if he didn't think she was going to try to dodge that question... Whoops.]

[awwnoun]

Aww, that means the answer to that question is even worse than I thought.

[redrooms]

[Forced honesty is the worse thing ever and she hates all of this.]

Because you were skilled, but you were also idealistic, and you weren't subtle about your interest in me. I knew that would make you easy to manipulate, and I knew I couldn't deal with Stark alone.

[Ugh!]

That's how it started out. But you didn't follow my orders blindly, and you were brave and competent and a far better person than I was, and I admired that. You were also one of the first people in a very long time to treat me as anything other than the Black Widow. You were far better than I deserved. I'm sorry.

[awwnoun]

[ He's smiling by the end of it. Rough start - not that he doesn't know he's easy to manipulate, but still. ]

I'm not going to hold any of that against you, you know. You weren't exactly the same person you are now and neither was I.

[redrooms]

Like I said, better than most of us. Sometimes I don't understand how you don't hold it against me.
